I was charged with theft over 10 years ago. I contacted the court house and found out the case was withdrawn. My rcmp clearance shows no charge at all. I asked the court house person to send me a copy of the charge to hand in with my application. they said i shouldnt need it as it wont even show up on my record. So should i simply answer no on the application for sponsorship and not even mention it if thats the case? I am the sponsor.
Withdrawn theft charge not showing up on records

They will automatically check record here. AND you answered NO to that Q"Have you ever been CONVICTED.........xxxxxxxxx?" Apparently your answer would be NO. Why you worry about 10 yrs ago thing when you were not sentenced/convicted? Even if some 1 was convicted of a family violence or other serious crimes, then 5 years waiting applies be4 1 can sponsor. Your case 10 years ago ! Relax
Agree finger printing they do even if not gone to court yet. But did you stand in the witness box or not?
yes standing in witness box means some real TRIAL took place. If charges were withdrwan it should be OK anyways even if stood there..On top they are more concerened over FAMILY violence not small things like that. I had a friend she was charged and even convicted 4-5 times on shop lifting. Trust me she was given Canadian citizenship as the time was past 6-7 years. So you can relax.
Theres no record of it in the rcmp i had to request it from courthouse so i dunno if that counts as record
But sorry I filled application and forms , I could not find "have you ever been charged? MAY be I am wrong plz tell me which form>>> but only found " HAVE U ever been convicted of so onxxxxxxxxx"
Checked again no word in search CHARGED but convicted. form imm5481e
